Cork flooring is a natural, renewable product that is durable and resistant to mold and mildew. You’ll also enjoy the comfort it provides under foot, and the thermal and sound insulation it provides. Our cork flooring comes in a number of styles and colors… even realistic wood looks.

Natural, Beautiful Cork Flooring

Cork flooring has become very popular with commercial as well as residential customers. It provides a unique look and is an environmentally conscious alternative to other flooring products.

Eco Forest uses the material extracted from the bark of the cork oak tree, which only grows in the forests of Mediterranean countries.

Cork waste from the stopper industry and low quality bark are used to produce granules. These are classified according to density and grain sizes. Flooring tiles are produced from cork granules bound with resins and molded to obtain the desired density under pressure and heat.

This past decade the floating floor technology has been successfully adapted to cork floor to produce one of the highest quality floor coverings. Cork plank flooring type has been used around the world and in this country for over a century.

Yesterday’s prestigious applications include:

The First Congregational Church in Chicago, Illinois - Installed in 1890

The Mayo Clinic & Plummer Building – Installed in original building in 1912 adding some additional flooring in 1940 for a total of 300,000 sq. ft.

Falling Water, Western PA, residence designed with cork floors by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1937 just to name a few

Cork flooring has become a popular choice as architects and designers are very enthusiastic about the distinctive look of the material in addition to the need for better indoor air quality and overall comfort.

The bark of the cork tree was designed by Mother Nature to protect the tree during its average 500-year lifespan. Not only is the bark inherently fire-resistant but it’s also resistant to temperature changes. It is important to note that only the cork bark is peeled off to be used for flooring every decade. The tree itself is never felled. The bark is a vegetal tissue made by an agglomeration of dead cells filled with air and lined with alternating layers of cellulose and waxy substance called suberin. Thus, the forest is kept alive and the habitat undisturbed.

Antimicrobial and Insect Repellent

Even termites are unwelcome. Suberin, the inherent substance of cork, is a natural insect repellent and also contains antimicrobials to fight the development of mildew. What a perfect indoor crawling ground for children! If you suffer from allergies and like the warm feeling of a carpeted room, this is definitely your best alternative.

Thermally and Acoustically Insulated

The presence in cork of over 100 million air cells per cubic inch in addition to the prism shape of that cellular structure incapacitate the effects of temperature and sound. It reduces impact noise, a great asset for applications such as multi-level housing, office spaces, museums and places of worship.

Fire Resistant

Cork flooring is also a fire inhibitor, and likely won’t spread the flame. It also does not release any toxic gases on combustion.

Comfortable

Cork floors and cork plank flooring provide a comfortable cushion underfoot as it gives under compression. It bounces back naturally so recovery marks left by furniture will leave a minimal indentation, and will be less noticeable than on wood, carpet or vinyl floors.

Durable and Easy to Maintain

Cork Floors come with three coats of a durable UV cured flexible acrylic finish. These coats stop spills and stains from permeating the floor and causing damage. Only sweeping and damp mopping are required for regular maintenance.
